COVID-19 Recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Partnership Strategy for the Biden Administration In-Depth Research & Reports by Jason Marczak and Cristina Guevara
Foreword
From Mexico City to Manaus, the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. In March 2020, families in Guayaquil searched for coffins to bury their loved ones. In April and May, Venezuelans who had fled the Maduro dictatorship were forced to return home after having lost their jobs in neighboring countries. As someone who has spent fifteen years in Congress advocating for the United States to work more closely with our friends in Latin America and the Caribbean, I was deeply saddened as this region became an epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators that includes Republican Rob Portman of Cincinnati introduced a bill to revamp a 1962 trade law that former President Donald Trump used to justify tariffs on billions of dollars worth of imports on national-security grounds.
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act allows for duties without a vote by Congress if imports are deemed a national-security threat. The Trump administration used the legislation to put tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum. Lawmakers complained about the White House s actions, and the controversial duties have drawn legal challenges both in U.S. courts and at the World Trade Organization.
